Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for wrapping a band once or several times around a stack, or the like, of goods, for example a palletized load, wherein said stack remains stationary relative to the apparatus during the wrapping process, said band being dispensed from a wrapping apparatus which orbits around the stack.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,109,445 discloses an apparatus of this kind which may be used to wrap plastic film around palletized goods.
  • This apparatus has a horizontal, driven arm which rotates above a pallet, the outer end of which is angled vertically downwards and on the vertical part of which is mounted a film dispensing reel the height of which is adjustable.
  • the film dispensing reel orbits the goods on the pallet and wraps them spirally with strips of film by means of even height adjustment of the arm.
  • the film dispensing reel and the mechanism located in the vertical part of the arm to provide for the height adjustment of the reel are so heavy that it is necessary to provide additional supports for the arm.
  • This is a disadvantage since it renders the already laborious construction even more complicated and costly.
  • a further disadvantage lies in the fact that a relatively large amount of space is required to transport the entire reel around the pallet.
  • the apparatus lacks a means of securing the end of the strip of film with the result that manual means are clearly necessary here.
  • the apparatus is specifically designed to wrap with relatively wide film and is not well suited for use with narrower bands, such as are used for securing purposes, not the least on account of the absence of a possibility for affixing and attaching the ends of the bands.
  • An object of the prsent invention is to provide a wrapping apparatus having none of the disadvantages of the known machine and which is, in particular, also suitable for wrapping using narrow bands for the purpose of securing stacks of goods.
  • an apparatus for the single or multiple wrapping of a stack or the like of goods with a band, said stack being stationary relative to the apparatus during the wrapping operation, said band being dispensed from a wrapping apparatus which orbits around the stack, characterised in that the wrapping apparatus has a wrapping arm with one horizontal part and one part angled vertically downwards, that the horizontal part is mounted on a vertical shaft, that the wrapping arm has means for guiding the band, that a band supply reel is linked to the horizontal part of the wrapping arm, that the wrapping arm is adjustable for height and that a band securing device of adjustable height is provided for securing and severing the band.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of an apparatus for the wrapping of stacked
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the same apparatus
  • FIG. 4 shows a horizontal, ring arrangement of bands
  • FIG. 5 shows a criss-crossed arrangement of bands
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the apparatus with a variant
  • the machine shown has a stand 1 through which passes a pallet conveyor 2. On this latter rests the pallet 29 laden with stacked goods 28 (FIG. 1).
  • an upper carriage 5 as part of a wrapping apparatus 3 and a lower carriage 6 as part of a band securing means 4 (FIGS. 1 and 2). Both carriages 5, 6 are suspended on separate chain hoists 8, 9 serving as elevating means.
  • the chain hoist 9 for the lower carriage 6 is equipped at its upper end with a chain drive wheel 12 and at its lower end with a chain guide wheel 13.
  • the drive mechanism for both chain drive wheels 10, 12 is located in a housing 14 (FIG. 1) on stand 1 and is of variable speed.
  • the two chain hoists may either be driven in synchronous motion or, alternatively, chain hoist 8 for the upper carriage 5 of the wrapping apparatus 3 may be driven whilst chain hoist 9 for the lower carriage 6 of band securing means 4 may be disengaged and locked in the desired position.
  • the upper carriage 5 has an elongated boom 15. On this is situated a hollow shaft 16 which is vertically mounted and which can be made to rotate by a drive motor 17 via a chain 18.
  • the hollow shaft 16 lies in the vertical central axis of the goods 28 and is linked at its upper end with a spool 19 revolving around a horizontal axis carried therewith for the band 20 which latter in the embodiment illustrated is, for example, 1 to 5 cm wide.
  • the horizontal element 21, 22 of a wrapping arm the outer end of which is angled vertically downwards.
  • the horizontal element 21 of the wrapping arm and its vertical element 22 are so equipped that a band 20 can pass from the spool 19 through the hollow shaft 16 via pulleys 23 along the horizontal element 21 of the wrapping arm and its vertical element 22.
  • a pulley 23 is also mounted at the lower end of the vertical element 22. From here the free end of the band 20 leads to an apparatus 24 of the band securing means 4 in order to affix, secure and sever it.
  • the securing apparatus 24 is fitted to a shorter outrigger arm 25 of the lower carriage 6.
  • the ends of the bands are gathered together so that the band always lies completely flat around the edges of the goods 28.
  • Parallel windings may be wound above the lowest horizontal winding 26, for which purpose the two carriages 5, 6 may be moved synchronously. It is also possible for several layers of band 20 to be wound over each other into a winding 26, whereby an apparatus holds the band away from the gripper.
  • carriages 5, 6 may be effected by means of threaded spindles or by hydraulic or pneumatic elevating means.
  • the band supply reel 19 is mounted on an extension of the horizontal part 21 of the winding arm instead of above the shaft. In this way the band does not have to be guided through the hollow shaft, but is effected directly in the horizontal part 21 of the winding arm and is thus simpler.
  • the hollow shaft 16 is then available, if desired, for the mounting of an additional apparatus, for example of a press (not shown). In comparison to the previously described embodiment a greater distance is needed between the boom and the stack.
  • the vertical element 22 of the wrapping arm is telescopically adjustable in length.
  • the telescopic length adjustment may be made in a known manner using threaded spindles or similar means.
  • This dual height adjustability of wrapping apparatus 3 provides additional flexibility.
  • the height adjustment of wrapping apparatus 3 is achieved by solely by means of telescopic alteration in the length of vertical portion 22, so that the elevating means may be dispensed with.
